Working in Emsworth

As well as Emsworth itself (PO9 and PO10), we survey in Havant, South Hayling and Hayling Island.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Emsworth: free survey, written quote, one team. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Emsworth bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. Wall-hung vanities in Emsworth homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.

Water across much of West Sussex is hard. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away

Decisions to make first

Waste and overflow

A basin with an overflow takes a slotted waste; one without needs an unslotted waste, often a push-button 'click-clack' type.

Basin type

An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.

Rules that apply in England

In England, the tap and supply pipework come under the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. A new waste connection to the soil stack can be Part H work, and adding a light to the unit or above it is notifiable under Part P.

Is the water hard in Emsworth?

Who handles building control for a new vanity unit in Emsworth?

Building control for Emsworth is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do vanity units come with a basin and tap?

Most vanity units are sold with a basin or a one-piece basin and top, while the tap and waste are usually bought separately. Check whether the basin has a tap hole and an overflow, because that decides which tap and waste you need.
